Charles Henry Byce
1916 - 1994

Charles Henry Byce is Canada's most highly-decorated Indigenous
soldier of WWII. His mother was Moose Cree;
his father a WWI hero.

Serving with the Lake Superior Regiment (Motor), Charlie Byce
earned a Military Medal (MM) for valour in January, 1945.
A few weeks later, in fierce combat to advance into Germany,
he made a gallant stand, against hopeless odds. For this, he
received the Distinguished Conduct Medal (DCM). Very few
Canadians have received both a DCM and MM - remarkably,
Charlie Byce's father, Henry Byce, was one of them.

Charles Henry Byce est le soldat autochtone canadien le
plus hautement décoré de la Seconde Guerre mondiale. Sa mère
était une Crie de Moose Factory; son père, un héros militaire.

En janvier 1945, Charlie gagne la Médaille militaire (MM)
pour bravoure. Quelques semaines plus tard, démontrant
un courage féroce dans une situation désespérée, il mérite
la Médaille de conduite distinguée (DCM). Seulement quelques
soldats canadiens ont reçu MM et la DCM - remarquablement,
Henry Byce, le père de Charlie Byce, est l'un d'entre eux.

Note: The inscription in Cree at the bottom of the plaque reads: Ash Hey Emashganook Shcobehlo (The war has ended).

PICTURE OF CANADIAN SOLDIER KNEELING BESIDE TREE OVERLOOKING CEMETERY

(framed photo with Royal Canadian Dragoon Cap Badge beneath/photo encadrée avec l`insigne du Royal Canadian Dragoon en dessous)

Le 20 mars 2009, le Cavalier Jack Bouthillier meurt au combat lors d'une mission de guerre de Afghanistan.
Sa mort secoue toutes les communautés du nord de l'Ontario et génère une vague de soldarité et de
compassion chez ses résidents. La guerre était plutôt méconnue par la jeune génération; elle fait
maintenant péniblement partie de leur vécu.

L'artiste local Réal Gagnon a été inspiré par cette tragédie; il a voulu commémorer ce jeune soldat et
honorer tous ceux de notre région qui ont perdu la vie au nom de la liberté; ils sont trop souvent oubliés.

Ce monument a été construit et financé grâce à des dons et du travail bénévole. Il témoigne de notre
reconnaissance envers les sacrifices de nos héros disparus et de l'engagement de la collectivité à se
souvenir et à les honorer.

On March 20, 2009, Trooper Jack Bouthillier of Hearst was killed in action while serving in Afghanistan. His
death shocked every Northern Ontario community, arousing compassion and a sense of solidarity amongst
residents. War is largely unknown to our younger generation, but it has now touched them painfully.
Local artist Real Gagnon was inspired to commemorate this young trooper and to honour all of our local
soldiers who have fallen in the name of fredom, for they are too often forgotten.

This memorial was constructed and financed by donations and volunteer work. It is our testimonial to the
sacrifices of our fallen heroes and this community's commitment to remembering and honouring them.
